2287 c Image10c Brown (150). Horizontal pair, tied by New York Foreign Mail 8-Point Star (Weiss ST-8P11) on 1873 cover to Amsterdam, Holland, red "New York Supplementary Aug. 13" Type D circular datestamp, red "6" credit crossed out and re-rated "5", red London "Paid" transit datestamp (Aug. 27), receiving backstamp, minor soiling, Very Fine and attractive, carried to England on the NGL's Hansa, one of five recorded covers to the Netherlands posted by Supplementary Mail at the 10c British Mail "Phantom Rate", an article by George E. Hargest ("New Light on the Operation of the Dockside Offices", Chronicle, May 1971, pp. 103-105) states: "In May 1874 the only published rate to the Netherlands was a 10 cent rate by direct closed mail via England. Letters by this route bear no British markings. Although existing U.S.-British conventions provided a 10 cent rate by British mail, regulations did not authorize its use. The markings on this cover, however, indicate that the dockside office sent it in a supplementary British mail, i.e., by an unauthorized route, at an unannounced 'phantom' rate." Each of the four recorded British Mail "Phantom Rate" covers to Holland has two 10c stamps, one of which paid for Supplementary Mail service. All four covers have a "6" credit marking crossed out and re-rated "5", which we cannot explain, since the correct credit to England was 6c. The covers are dated Aug. 13, 1873 (offered here), May 16, Aug. 10 (offered in the following lot), Aug. 29 (ex "Andromeda", Siegel Sale 1008, lot 2125) and Sep. 12, 1874. (Image)
